Grunt Cordova Plugin test runner for Jasmine

This plugin will automatically run jasmine tests in /tests directory.

How to use

You need just three things, two files and one directory. The first file will be the package.json that will contain the required node dependencies. For example:

1{
2    "name": "hello-world",
3    "version": "0.0.1",
4    "devDependencies" : {
5        "grunt" : "~0.4.2",
6        "grunt-cordova-plugin-jasmine" : "~0.0.9"
7    }
8}

Remember to change the grunt-cordova-plugin-jasmine version to the latest one. Then you need a Gruntfile.js, in which you need to call grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-cordova-plugin-jasmine'); and then register a task, which will run the test-cordova-plugin task. Also you need at least target in your configuration. Example Gruntfile.js would look like this:

1module.exports = function (grunt) {
2    'use strict';
3    grunt.initConfig({
4        pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
5        'test-cordova-plugin': {
6            default: {
7            }
8        }
9    });
10
11    grunt.loadNpmTasks("grunt-cordova-plugin-jasmine");
12    grunt.registerTask('test', 'test-cordova-plugin');
13};

Now you can call grunt test in the directory with Gruntfile.js to run the test-cordova-plugin task. The last thing to setup is directory with tests. You need to create a folder named tests in the same directory the Gruntfile.js is in and then you can put javascript files into the directory. All script files will be loaded into the index.html page which will be tested, so you can split your tests into multiple files if you wish.

Remember that the Gruntfile.js has to be in the root of the Cordova plugin you with to test (or check out the options for an override).

Options

deleteTemp

default: true

If you wish to keep the temporary Cordova project after tests are completed, just set this option to false. In the console you can find out where is the temporary project stored.

pluginDir

default: current working directory

You may want to test different location than current directory, in that case, change this option to the path the plugin is stored in.

testsDir

default: ./tests

If you want to store tests in different directory, just change this option to your desired path and you are all set.
